This disc is usually hailed as the band's best but I don't care for it as much. Seems to be a pattern with me. This one is full on death metal and it's all about speed and blast beats and less about riffing and hooks. I think that's why I don't enjoy it as much. Loved the hooks on the debut but this one is just pounding. Granted, there's still great songs here. I like "Nocturnal," "Scrolls..." and "Inflamed." "Ancient Prophecy" is the band's first try at an epic tune but I think it's just boring. I've just never been one for death metal or grindcore so I only spin this once and awhile.
My Soundmass rerelease has some cool demo bonus tracks that I ended up liking more than the studio versions.
Useless Fact: Jayson Sherlock drew the cover for this disc too.
excelent
